Chapter 583 by Marina Vittori

The next morning, at Nicholson Corp. Dustin reported to work as usual. As Chief Security Officer, his work was relatively easy. He would punch in in the morning and patrol the area with a few officers, and he would have free time after that. He could do anything he wanted since no one was there to keep watch on him Dustin had just sat down in his office when someone knocked on his door. He looked up and found that it was the Vice Chairman, Hank Hoffman.

“Mr. Rhys, are you free? Can I have a word with you?” Hank walked in the door with a smile. Remaining in his seat, Dustin greeted him. “Mr. Hoffman, how can I help you?”

“Mr. Rhys, I had my friend bring back this aged Narcissus Tea from Mount Woui. I hope you like it. Hank took out a delicate gift box and placed it on his table.

Dustin raised an eyebrow. “Aged Narcissus Tea? This must be pretty expensive.”

“It’s nothing, just over a million dollars.” Hank smiled Dustin declined his gift. “Mr. Hoffman, this is too valuable. I can’t afford to take it, you should keep it for yourself.”

“It’s okay if you don’t like to drink tea. I have another present prepared. Still smiling, he took out a check from his pocket and said, “Here are three million dollars. Consider it a kind gesture of mine. I hope you accept it.”

“Mr. Hoffman, you’re giving me gifts and money. What exactly is the meaning of this?” Dustin questioned him straightforwardly.

Hank chuckled. “I’d like to be friends with you, Mr. Rhys.” He flashed Dustin a meaningful smile. “I know you are close to Dahlia, but you won’t have a future if you continue working for her. She’s just a lady. She won’t be able to accomplish great things.”

Dustin’s expression remained unchanged. “So?”

“So, I hope you can help me out. I’ll treat you well. The gifts I’ve given you today are just the start of many. There’ll be more benefits for you going forward.” Hank started revealing his true intentions.

“Mr. Hoffman, I don’t think it’s appropriate for you to ask me to betray Ms. Nicholson,” Dustin responded calmly.

“Mr. Rhys, the world revolves around gains. Dahlia pays you only a measly salary. Why would you still be loyal to her?”

Seeing his lack of reaction, Hank continued to persuade him. “As long as you agree to my terms, I’ll make sure you end up as Vice Chairman when I become the Chairman!” The only reason Hank gave him such a lucrative offer was due to his identity as the Flame Dragon gang leader. He knew that with Dustin backing Dahlia, it would be difficult to remove her from her position. That was why he needed to get Dustin on his side to achieve his goals.

“Mr. Hoffman, you sure have confidence in me. Sadly, I’m not interested in your terms.” Dustin gave him an ambiguous smile. “What are you interested in, then? I’ll try my best to fulfill it as long as it’s within my means. Hank responded hastily.

“Nothing. I just want you to obediently stay as Vice Chairman and not push the boundaries.” Dustin’s smile gradually disappeared.

“What?” Hank furrowed his brows. “What do you mean, Mr. Rhys?”

Dustin responded coldly, “You don’t get it? Let me make it clearer. Going forward, Dahlia will always remain the Chairman of this company. Anyone who wishes to dispose of her will answer to me, understood?”

Hank’s expression darkened. “Mr. Rhys, does that mean this is out of discussion?”

“I’m not interested in discussing anything with you. Now, get out. I’m going to take a nap.” Dustin waved his hand in annoyance.

“Fine, I hope you don’t come to regret it!” Hank let out an audible scoff and left the room after

packing up. He could only seek other methods since he was unsuccessful in bribing Dustin.

“He wants to bribe me with a few million dollars? Does he think I’m poor?” Dustin was annoyed. He was a billionaire. That small amount of money was insignificant to him.

Suddenly, Dustin’s phone rang.
